I know Lynnette often kids about me taking the roads less traveled. Lord knows I don't mind spending time lost. She always seems to enjoy when I tell her that I'm not lost since I've been lost here before with my brother. … [Read more...]
Have you ever passed a dirt trail and wondered, “Where does that road go?” With the growing popularity of offroading, more and more people are seeking the answer to that question -- which means the need for off-highway safety and etiquette training is more important than ever.

Although many people use their Jeeps as a daily driver for on-road transportation,each and every day new Jeep … [Read more...]
Much to my dismay, we can't ride around in the Jeep with the top down all of the time. Because here in Franklin, Tennessee it gets pretty chilly from October through March each year. Still, we couldn't be happier with our Jeep(s), and we've had a lot of great times -- top up and top down -- in both our 1990 Jeep Wrangler YJ and our 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited TJ. Here's a run-down of all of the things you need to consider if your Jeep has a soft top... … [Read more...]
Following is a video we made as a how-to guide for removing your Jeep soft top... Jeep Soft Tops We've owned 2 Jeep Wranglers -- one a 1990 YJ, and one a 2004 TJ.

These days, with the 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (our daily driver), we don't have a hard top, so we ride around with the soft top … [Read more...]
We love Jeeps. And we enjoy good ads. Combine the two, and what have you got? The best Jeep commercials... ever!

Jeep is making nearly 2,800 Jeep dealerships nationwide official "drop zone" locations for Operation Gratitude, a national non-profit organization that collects comfort items and letters of appreciation from the American public and ships them to service members overseas. … [Read more...]
In the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, just outside of Cherokee, NC, is a 14-mile trail known as Heintooga Round Bottom Road. It looked pretty tame, so Lynnette and I decided to give it a spin in our Jeep. I shot all the video. She snapped all the photos. To take a road less traveled, drive to Balsam Mountain via the Heintooga Ridge Road that starts at the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 458.2, just 11 miles from the south end of the Parkway.
